At a consolidated meeting held last
Saturday night by ten local lodges OF
the Knights of Labor, the local Prin'
ters' Union, the Bricklayers' Union
and the Painters Union the following
preamble and resolutions were adopt
ed:
Whereas, We view with alarm the
determination of organized capital TO
crush and epslave labor. as evinced by
the locking out of unoflending work
men in Chicago, and
Whereas, We recognize the unity of
interest existing between the work
ingmen of all sections and all coun-
tries, and heartily agree that an injury
to one is the concern to all therefore
be il
Resolved, That we, representing ten
Assemblies knights of Labor and all
the organized trades of Dallas, regard
the blow struck at organized labor in
Chicago as blow at our own interests
and rights, and
Resolved, That we extend to these
lockedout workingmen our earnest
sympathy and pledge to them our
moral, AID, if need be, our financial
support in their struggle against the
tyranny and injustice of their would
be-mastcrs.
Resolved, That we urge the workers
of all trades and all sections TO arouse
from their indifference, unite with
each other aud fight manfully for their
rights and for those social and Geo.
nomic conditions under which alone
it is possible for them to secure such
rights.

A BRUTAL NEGRO
ATTEMPTS A, CRIMINAL AS
SAULT UPON A YOUNG
LADY
And Beats.Two Women with a
Revolver Until the Floor is
Covered with Blood.

Sunday morning between one and
tvs o'clock negro made brutal and
fiendish attempt TO criminally assault
16.ycar old young lady, the daugh
ter of Mrs. Chris. Davis, living on
Williams street near the Anhauser
Busch beer vaults. 1t was a warm
night and the back door of their bed
room had been !eit open to admit air.
At the hour above named the negro
came to the bed side Of the two women
and took ,he girl in his arms. The
young lady screamed, "mother" who
upon opening her eyes found her
daughter strugglingi in the arms of the
negro. She screamed for help when
the fiend struck her two blows on The
head with a heavy revolver partially
stunning her. She fell back on her
pillow, when the girl screamed "mur-
der" The negro taen struck the
daughter n severe blow on the head
causing the blood TO flow freely. The
mother recovered consciousness and
together the two women struggled
with the villain aud at last broke from
his clutches, and seizing small child ly-
ing on a couch in the room. fled in their
night clothes, into the night and across
the street to neighbor Bradley's, who
by this time had heard the cries of
help and was fastening to their res
cue. The negro called TO the women
to halt or he would shoot. They kept
on their way and he fired, but for
tunasely no damage was done.
Officers Gates and Fisher heard the
shot and hasiened to the house, but
the negro had fed. They found the
room lin which the struggle took
place In great disorder and confusion.
and much blood on the floor and the
bed.
Mrs. Davis wounds are severe but
not dangerous.
There has been a good search made
to find the fiend, but no trace of him
has yet been found. 1t would have
been extremely unhealthy for the
negro had he been caught yesterday.

MRS. WILEY
CAPTNRED AT FORT WORTH
~'s" YESTERDAY.
She Refuses to Disclose the
Manner of Her Escape.

Mrs. Wiley has been captured. The
police of Fort Worth had that honor.
1t took a posse to do the work, al
though Mrs. Wiley was slowed away
under a stairway in the house of one
Elmore, on Houston street, decked out
in mems clothing. She was furious at
the officers as they stood out to one
side aud demanded her to come forth,
which, after a little parley, she did,
and INDUCED her tongue in the
choicest billingsgate imaginable.
She refused TO disclose the manner
of her escape, giving the inn
preston that she received aid in cs-
cape and flight. She will not so far
throw any light upon the matter or
implicate any one. She made the
slickest escape on record and no mis-
take and that is all an anxious public
can find out at this time.
Last night Gen. Cabell received
word that the police of Fort Worth
had captured Mrs. Wiley. Sheriff
Lewis went to that city this morning
and will probably bring her back
with him to night.

well as favorable symptoms are noted.
Most Of the patients are in advanced
stages of the disease. Most of them live
under bad sanitary conditions, and are
not we'll nOurished. Yet the improve
ment has been more marked than l at first
expected to realize. The appetite has
improved, night sweats, @ marked symp-
tom in nearly every case, ceased within
the first week. Good sleep wss soon re-
stored to those who had suffered from
wakefulness. The circulation was
weakened, and the cold hands and feet
soon became warm. The hard, tiresOme
cough comes soft and easy, and the eX-
pectoration Iessened. The improve
ment has been greater than could be
obtained by any other form of treatment,
or even by & favorable change Of climate
in so brief time. This speaks well for
the treatment, especially at this season
of the year, when consumptives most
rapidly fail Many of these patients are
too far advanced to hope for recovery, yet
the aggravating symptoms have been de-
cidedly relieved, and it is safe to say hat
their lives can be prolonged and the
severity of their symptoms greatly miti-
gated. If this can be accomplished with
the advanced cases, may we not hope to
cure large percentage Of those in the
earlier stages? To effect cure in tuber-
cuIar phthisis patients should continue
the treatment from fifteen to twenty
minutes

AN ANCIENT LAW.

Article 149 of chapter 3, Revised Stat
utes of Texas, reads as follows:
The Comptroller shall, on the 1st day of
August of each year, and quarterly thereafter,
advertise for sealed proposals for furnishing to
the superintendent of the LunatiC, Deaf and
Dumb and Blind asylums certain supplies, as
hereinafter named, for two weeks in a daily
newspaper published In the cities of Austin
and Galveston prior to the day of opening said
bids. Said advertisements shall state the
articles for which bids shall be received and
bids shall be made separately as hereinafter
named.
This law was framed eleven years ago.
Eleven years ago Galveston was the only
city in the state; eleven years ago there
were no great wholesale houses at Fort
Worth, Dallas, Waco and San Antonio,
because, eleven years ago these cities
were but towns and villages
and hamlets. Eleven years ago
it might reasonably be expected that in
the only great city in the state or in the
state capital would be found men who
could furnish these supplies to state in
stitutions; but eleven years ago means
long time ago in Texas. To-day Fort
Worth has houses better able to furnish
these supplies than has Galveston or
Austin; to-day Texas is north of
Austin; to-day there are daily
newspapers IN all the large
cities, and to-day the people of the state
are not reached by Galveston and Austin
newspapers as they were eleven years
ago.
That law is ancient; it does not give
the really great wholesale houses chance,
and it should be amended to meet the
changed conditions of trade in Texas.

EVERY town cannot be city any more
than every man can be great statesman.
Where railroads center and ample distrib-
uting facilities are established, there, and
there alone, will cities grow to extraordi,
nary dimensions. Fort Worth has the
railroads ana will soon have manufacture
ing enterprises. She has capital, pluck,
energy and water-pure, fresh water, bub-
bling up from the depths of the earth.
She is as certain to be the leading city of
North Texas as that her struggling rivals
will remain in pompous mediocrity.

CONSUMPTION CURED AT LAST.

The Method Pursued by Hartford Physi-
clan to Cure this Fatal Malady.
At the annual meeting of the Hartford
County Medical Society to-day, tele-
graphs a correspondent of the Boston
Herald, remarkably interesting paper
was read by DR.. M. M. Johnson on the
experiments recently made by himself and
other Hartford physicians, in the cure of
consumption by the new French method
OF gaseous enemata. The following are
the chief features of DR.. Johnson's paper ::
The best time to administer the gas is
about three hours after meal, or little
time before the meal. The injection
should be made slowly, occupying about
twenty minutes. l use Mount Clemens
water from Michigan. l have ordered q
case of Massena spring water from North

trial, as it is known to be rich with free
hydrogen sulphide. The Mount Clemens
water is very powerful and can be used
for two or three injections. l have used
this treatment about three months. At
irst most of the patients were from the
Hartford free dispenssry; later have
used it to quite an extent in private prac-
tice. Each patient is carefully examined
before treatment is commenced. A
careful record is kept OF each case. Dec

The Panhandle.
Mobeetie Panhandle.

The boom of the Panhandle of Texas
is coming on as fast as time and railroad
builders can bring it. This boom will be
visible to the naked eye in less than six
months Fort Worth GAZETTE.
If THE GAZETTE could see the tide of
sturdy and solid looking grangers coming
down from the north, it would not set the
time of visibility so far away. Nearly all
these people are well fixed, and have the
correct idea that for stock farming the
Panhandle will beat the world. They are
brought here by the fact that they are not
restricted in their business by being
bound down to q paltry quarter section
OF land, and our soil and climate catch
and hold them every time. We are not
ambitious for boom, but the tide of
settlement has certainly set in, and it is
composed Of just the right kind of people
to appreciate and make prosperous the
country that has always been the Pan
handlest part of the state.

Whisky.
Chicago Inter-Ocean,

1t is thought that the process of distil-
ling liquors from grain was first discov-
cred in India. It is believed to have been
introduced into Europe by the Moors
about 1850. It was first used in England
at about the close of the century. When
first made whisky was used as a medicine.
Direction for making usquebaugh or aqua
vita are contained in the Red Book of
Ossary, volume compiled in the four
teenth century, in which it is described as
panacea for all diseases. Usquebaugh
was Celtic name for the liquor, from
which the word whisky is no doubt de-
rived. But the name whisky was at first
given to the liquors distilled by the Scotch
Highlanders from barley only, and had
not, until later times, its present more
genera. application. The distillation of
whisky from Indian corn was begun by
the colonists at very early day in their
history.

No, ESTEEMED Dallas contemporaries,
no; cit does not, indeed, look much like
the st. Louis, Arkansas and Texas is

When Fort Worth is offered a railroad at
given price it is safe to gamble your
nickel that Fort Worth will get that road.
But "spur" up, neighbors; don't De
downcast; give your old "Trunk" to
Fordyce, and thus secure another branch
road. And we donate another hint, free
of charge: Keep your eyes on Greenville
and Tyler-there's music in the air.

IN our railroad column to-day will be
found the realization of Dallas that Fort
Worth is to get the st Louis, Arkansas
and Texas railroad. Acting upon the
GAzETTE's hint, the people of branch
town will now try to get branch of the
Cotton Belt road by donatingIthe "Trunk. ="
There is something pathetic in the candor
of the News and the awakening of Dallas
to the fact that Fort Worth will be the
grand center of the Trunk lines inITexas;
we are real sorry, but railroad centers,
like charity, should begin at home.

onstrates its devotion to the negro more
than IN such common sense advice as is
embodied in the above paragraph.
Homes, property in land, make the white
man reputable citizen and identity him
with law and order and the common wei
fare, and the same cause will produce the
same effect in the black man. The black
man is too much given to aping the vices
rather than the virtues of the white man !;
he affects too much the watch chain, the
buggy on Sunday, the saloon and the
gaming table.
The negro will remove the reproach of
color and the social prejudice against it
when he himself eunobles his color. How
can class expect honor and respect
when that class is held as open to pur-
chase on election days? How can class
lose its identity as such and become an
integral part of the community until, as a
class, it owns homes and is not, as 8
class, migratory and uncertain?
THE GAZETTE knows a colored family
in Fort Worth whose members are as
truly ladies and gentlemen as though their
skins were white as snow. The mother
at the wash tub and the father st other
labor bought home in this city, and now
also own farm near the city-they are
"well off" and will be rich, and industry
and economy did it. The daughter, late
~ married, still works out as an ironer,
and in dress and department is lady;
she does not scorn the work by which
now she is better provided against
the rainy day than many white
woman; she does not deem common
politeness serVility, and, as a con-
sequence, has the respect of all who
know her.
The Chronicle is right. The negro
should get him home; he should liberate
himself from the degradation OF voting as
his political master says; he should stop
giving the livery stable half or quarter
of his weeks wages on Sunday; he should
note the agencies that make white men
respected and honored, and close his eyes
to the dude, the gambler and the idler;
he should realize that his class will never
rise until it works out It's own salvation.

Indiana's Boom.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

Indiana is getting boom and no mis-
take. She seems to have oceans OF
wealth stored deep in the earth ready for
the needs of an enterprising people. It
has needed Just this to wake Hoosierdom
up, and it looks as il it has been done.
But the booming business is all new to
Indianians, and they do not make half out
of it that would be made if in other sec
tons where there is larger enterprise.
They should not wait for outside people
to come in and gather the plums when the
harvest is in sight.

THE lazy man has one friend in the
world and that friend is the Alta Cali
fornia. That paper comes out with the
original theory that the man who keeps
his fences and fence corners clean and
free from brush and briars, is standing IN
his own light. 1t claims that wire fences
are the friends of worms, bugs and biters
of all sorts, and that the old snake fences
with black berries growing over them
are the best. In the latter the birds
come and destroy the insects. We await
the next issue of the paper for an article
